Answer:
Essentially additive editing and stringing “the good stuff” together, whereas subtractive is more about stringing all your raw footage together and “removing the bad stuff”
Additive editing feels confident and concerned with the pursuit of a specific, existing vision. And it’s faster. Subtractive editing feels like a deeper listening to what the footage is saying, and holding on to many potential permutations.
Step-by-step explanation:
Addictive editing - creating a program from raw footage by starting by starting with nothing and adding selected components
Subtraction editing - creating a program by removing redundant or poor quality material from the original footage
